Celebration Should we consider it?
Posted: Sun Jul 15, 2007 3:01 pm
We are currently in the process of trying to sell our house here in Denver. It could be a while with the horrible real estate market right now! :( We want to move to the Greater Orlando area. :hurricane
LOL! We are considering Windermere, Dr. Phillips, Winter Park ans sevral other areas as we have heard these are very nice locales. I am curious about Celebration. I had heard that they were currently in the final phase of homes that we would be interested in. Is that correct, or is building finished there? And for those who live in Celebration, what do you think of it? Is it worth considering? Are the HOA rules as strict as a WWII POW camp? Our HOA is made up of, dare I say it, a bunch of nazi's who run just about every aspect of living in our neighborhood. Just let em start peeking in my windows and telling me what to do inside my house! :rollpin:
What are some of the safer areas to live and still be close by to the magic?
We don't really want to be in Orlando proper. And, we are thinking of maybe getting some part time employment at the Parks, since we are retired and want to keep busy a couple days a week meeting SG's from all over the planet! LOL! No, really, it would be interesting to meet people from all over the world! Just not everyday, I want to go and do a lot of other things as well. We also do not really want to have to endure a horrendous commute to the Parks. Any ideas of some of the best places to consider, all of you Florida folks?
Thanks!

P.S. Hubby wants to consider Orange County California as well, (that is another thread altogether) but we are native Californians and know just how much traffic there is and the cost of homes there!
I am leaning towards Florida for our golden years! Seems like there is so much to do there and the weather is great for both of us with our arthritis and my horrible sinuses that have endured 3 surgeries since we have been in Colorado for 6 yrs. It is desert dry here and I need MOISTURE!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!
